In case anyone needs to know, the shouter in question is none other than Brendan Gregg (of flame graph, eBPF, and Systems Performance fame). And the guy who took the video is Bryan Cantrill of Oxide Computer, DTrace, and Joyent.
- devonkim 4y agoI think Brendan is still peeved that this video is his most viewed video on Youtube even after all this time.
- sydney6 4y agoYes, whilst he has given so many other valuable talks around systems profiling, etc.. I firmly believe that this [1] still should be hanging in every system administrators bedroom around. https://www.brendangregg.com/Perf/linux_observability_tools.png https://www.brendangregg.com/Perf/linux_observability_tools....
- devonkim 4y agoI do have it hanging in my office rather than my bedroom. I wouldn't recommend putting it in the bedroom unless one's spouse is also a sysadmin.
- twic 4y agoMaybe he should instrument his talks to see how much shouting there is in them, and check how that correlates with view count.
- devonkim 4y agoThis is a flame graph I'd be interested in seeing from him on April Fool's Day
- jacquesm 4y agoI think mcelog/rasdaemon deserve a mention there in the RAM section?
- Workaccount2 4y agoHe shouldn't be too upset, views and video quality only have a very rough correlation if at all. It shouldn't be surprising that his most accessible video is his most watched one.

- NobodyNada 4y agoHN readers may also recognize Byran Cantrill from his famous rant about Oracle, which is frequently cited here: https://youtu.be/-zRN7XLCRhc?t=1980 https://youtu.be/-zRN7XLCRhc?t=1980
- noSyncCloud 4y ago>Don't make the mistake of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison Absolutely incredible!
- walrus01 4y agoI have trained myself so that every time I see "Oracle", I mentally translate it as "Larry Ellison needs a bigger yacht".
- jmarneweck 4y agoI keep picturing Larry pushing a lawn mower.
- narag 4y agoFor Spanish speaking HNers: try reading Oracle in reverse :) It'd be el caro (the expensive one), in the same line as the yatch thing.
- sneak 4y agoI hope to one day have the terrible misfortune of being acquired by Oracle.
- gala8y 4y agoBrilliant. Thanks.
